Car seat ??

Question

Not sure exactly what group to post this in but my daughter is 16 months and rear facing. I know the law where I live(maybe everywhere) is 12 months but suggestions all say till 2. She absolutely hates the car unless she is tired. I’m wondering if anyone else changed to forward facing before 2. I feel she will enjoy the car more by seeing me but I’m also worried about switching her forward facing at 16 months.

Answer

If anything you should keep her rear facing way longer. Rather find ways to entertain her.

Answer

It is much safer to keep her rear facing for 2+ years. Her safety outweighs her enjoyment. Give her things to keep her entertained.

Answer

The most recent recommendations are actually rear face until 4 or they outgrow the limits of the car seat for rear facing. 
They’re 4x safer and less likely to have a spinal or hip fracture in an accident. Internal decapitation is more likely forward facing the younger they are

Answer

My son HATED being in the car seat, screamed bloody murder anytime we went for a drive. We tried out a new car seat (rear facing still) and it changed everything! He completely stopped crying anytime we were in the car. Turns out it was just the car seat 🤷🏻‍♀️
